Ardnamurchan The Midgie Bottled 2025

Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 
Distillery Bottling 70cl / 48.0%

First released in spring 2024, Ardnamurchan's small batch The Midgie Highland single malt whisky is back for a second run in summer 2025. Like its predecessor, 2025's Ardnamurchan Midgie is a mix of the distillery's peated and unpeated spirit bottled at 48% without colouring or chill filtration, but there are a few differences.

This 2025 edition of Ardnamurchan's Midgie was assembled from spirit distilled between 2017-2019 and while the last batch used bourbon barrels and a variety of wine casks, this edition has a simplified cask recipe of just bourbon barrels and port casks. Encouragingly, Ardnamurchan Midgie 2025 is a much larger batch at 16,500 bottles, so hopefully it'll last a bit longer this time, as the previous version sold out in a trice.
